New Dope Videos To Peep!

Here are some new dope videos to check out. I'm always asked about what new dope Hip Hop is out there that I know about and here are some great examples of some:

This is the new video by my homie P.Casso from the AOK Collective. Shout out to him and all my peeps in the video (Kalae, Nola Darling, Fresh Daily, Hungry Bros, Homeboy Sandman, Sucio Smash, etc.)!



Here's a dope video from my brother from another mother, M-Tri. I have MAD cameo time in this video lolol. This video was also just aired on Video Music Box, by Ralph McDaniels this past Saturday! Shout out to M-Tri!



Here's one from my homie Sabac Red of Non Phixion. This is from his new album, "The Ritual" that was just released recently. He actually has another video coming out for his song, "Viva Boricua" in which I have some cameo time lol. Look out for that one coming soon.



This is a stupid, dope video from my homie Final Outlaw. It's definitely one of my favorites right now.



Check out this video from my homies Kats and Domer that just came out. Shout out to both of them!



Check out this dope video from my homie Hired Gun. Shout out to him!



Here's a really dope video by my homie Rugged N Raw featuring Hasan Salaam. This is definitely some funny shit! LOLOL



This video is a funky fresh addition to the list by my homie Fresh Daily. It was actually done a little while back, but it's dope! It was also directed by another homie of mine, Photo Rob.



And lastly...here's my video that I just dropped recently for my joint "Plain and Simple", produced by my dude The Avid Record Collector. Shout out to him and Mark Carranceja of Noisemaker Media who directed the joint.



Some other videos to look out for (that have not yet been released, but have cameos from me) are "Lightning Bolt", by Homeboy Sandman, "Fif in the Morning", by Poison Pen, "Viva Boricua", by Sabac Red of Non Phixion and a joint from the group Invizzibl Men. I'm gonna keep posting new dope shit to check out here on the regular. Peace!

Best Hip Hop Albums of 2008

This topic is pretty much self explanatory. Which artists have dropped the best Hip Hop albums of 2008??? I feel like there have been some dope albums so far this year and I would have to mention the following as being the best in my opinion (in no particular order, but I'm sure you already knew that lol):

Homeboy Sandman
Rugged N Raw
Ill Bill
Hasan Salaam
Immortal Technique
Planet Asia and DJ Muggs
P.Casso
Termanology
Torae
Skyzoo

I would definitely suggest all of these to those cats who look for dope, raw Hip Hop since it's tough as hell to find nowadays. I'm sure there are a few more, but those come to mind right away as I write this. Also, which albums are you anticipating the release of that haven't come out yet???

The Nicest Freestyle MCs

This is one talk that I've had with a few cats that definitely gets a lot of different results. Those who know me know that freestyling is something that I love doing (especially on stage) and hearing from other MCs who are dope at it. A lot of people attempt it, but there is a very small few who are great at it. I always feel that possessing this type of skill gives any MC the power to rip any crowd. Also, I feel I need to mention this...when I say the word "FREESTYLE", I'm talking about rhyming off the head and spitting what's never been heard or written down that's on your mind at that given moment. I am NOT referring to so-called "freestyles" like the ones you see on mixtapes. No offense to those cats, but that is NOT freestyling and needs to be called something else in my opinion. Spitting an exclusive written verse over someone else's known beat does not make that a freestyle lol. Some of the BEST freestylers I've heard are (in no particular order):

Supernatural
Juice
Jin
Wordsworth
Breezevahflowin
Craig G
Eyedea
Common
Iron Solomon
Rabbi Darkside
Why-G

These are just a few MCs that immediately come to mind when I think of cats who I've heard spit off the head that literally made me be like, "damn!". I'm sure there are more, but those are the few who come to mind at this moment. Who are some of the illest freestylers you've heard????
